​Excuses Not Accepted Here

I don’t have the energy to go work out!

Remember that increased energy is one of the benefits of exercise. Just 30 minutes at 9Round will help you stay focused and energized throughout your day.

I have no time to go to the gym!

You don’t have to commit to an hour at the gym each day. In just 30 minutes at 9Round, as few as three times a week, you can blast fat and start reaching your goals.

I have no idea what I’m doing and everyone will be staring at me!

9Round Trainers are there for you every punch, kick, and step of the way to teach, encourage, and inspire you. And while you’re busy perfecting your round kick, everyone else will be busting their butt at their own station. In a fast-paced, 30-minute workout, there’s no time to stand around and stare!

I can’t afford to join a fitness club!

Exercise need not be expensive. 9Round makes fitness fun AND affordable. You have a trainer to work with you at every session, but you don’t pay extra! You have access to online nutrition and exercise tips and tools, but you don’t pay extra. You can work out three times per week or go above and beyond and attend six sessions, but (you guessed it…) you don’t pay extra!

I have 648 other things to do this week!

Make exercise a priority! We will always find something more important to do, and if you wait until you “have the time,” it will never happen. 9Round only asks for 30 minutes of your time, three times a week. Put it on your calendar and hold it in the same regard as you would a doctor’s appointment.

I am so NOT in the mood to work out!

Please refer to the aforementioned list of “Reasons to Exercise.” Improve mood, reduce stress, promote sleep… need we say more? If you woke up on the wrong side of the bed or had a bad day, a little sweat therapy is just what the doctor ordered.

I’m too old and out of shape to exercise!

Exercise builds strong bones and improves heart and lung function at any age. At 9Round there is no such thing as being too old or too out of shape to work out. Trainers will tailor workouts to your fitness level and modify moves to ensure they are safe for you to perform whether you’re 19 or 99!
